I hope this post is a joke... I mean, nobody would be THAT stupid, right..? Right..?

Actually, this applies to closed software developers as well...

Yeah.. except it does not when it's commercial software paid for with support and SLAs in place...

Wow, guess nobody uses shaders...

Not really, I think most people just want to play the game they like. When installing games from multiple floppy images to a hard drive image, it's usually an one time thing (per game). So that's commonly done in windowed mode and immersion is not that important. But ease of use is. So it's a lot o...

Were keyboard shortcuts never implemented in any version? I'm talking about things like insert/eject floppy image, CD etc. When emulating, the goal is to have as close an experience to the original as possible, and these type of shortcuts help to ease the gap a little for those type of operations, a...

Hello, I am going crazy trying to use shaders with PCem. As per previous posts I found, I select OpenGL 3.0 for video, and then I go to the shaders manager, but no matter which shader I try, regardless of if it's the .glslp or .glsl file, and whehter I get an html content or the "real" con...

PCem has two network emulation drivers: A SLiRP driver and a PCAP driver. They are selectable from the configure host button on the PCem Configuration Manager. How the heck did I never see this button???? :o The SLiRP driver, which is the default, works like this: To the outside, it is just an appl...

Feel free. Ok, so it's just a few small items: README FILE ---------------- Amstrad PC1512 [5] - Readme states one of the ROM files as pc1512/40044.v2 when it is in fact pc1512/40044.v1 IBM AT - Readme states ROM files are: ibmat/at111585.0 ibmat/at111585.1 should state: ibmat/62x0820.u27 ibmat/62x...

On the Pcem side, the router IP is your host. ( verify it, but it should be 10.0.2.2) I've been using a little http server application to copy files on both directions (server on host, IE on pcem). The http server is hfs. https://www.rejetto.com/hfs Hi there, I tried this and works great, to me it'...

The option's there for curiosity (a 2mb framebuffer Voodoo2 would've been for arcade machines) A Voodoo2 always have two TMUs, and that chosen texture memory will be multiplied by 2 always on the Voodoo2 option. Same goes for the Obsidian SB50 above it. Consumer V2s always had a 4MB framebuffer, an...

Hi all, I'm confused with the memory settings for the Voodoo 2 card emulation, specifically on how to emulate a 12MB card. I know it's there as it's even in the readme stating: 3DFX Voodoo 2: PCem can emulate both 8 and 12 MB configurations. But I'm surely missing how to configure it... I found an o...

Hi Sarah,

Readme files are important, right...? It's what users are sent to read before asking...

Would it be of interest to report some typos/errors on the main readme file, or nobody cares? What about the GUI itself?


Cheers!

LOL... I think we can all overlook that insignificance, opposed to the huge thing this wonder is...

Mmm... So.. indeed, that BIOS (SIS 496/497) seems to have limitations with some configurations. 63/16/4096 fails but 63/16/4095 works. (it shows 2113 instead of 2015 because it shows it in million bytes, not in megabytes. This is quite the norm with disks) As I said, use autodetection but select ma...

If you want a 2GB disc, simply try 63 sectors, 16 heads, 4096 cylinders. Autodetect might still fail, but you can setup these parameters manually in the BIOS. My Pentium II had a 40GB of disk Maybe it was 10GB or was it 6GB?... Can't remember any longer. We built a rather good one ( slot 1, 350Mhz ...

Right, except that also gets you an incorrect size in BIOS for that machine :p

PCem pretends to emulate what real hardware was supposed to do, and the use of real BIOSes of those machines also imposes some of these limitations. But first: The list of predefined HDDs is not something that PCem invented, but the default table of compatible disks on the initial PC BIOS. Those di...

The largest heads and sectors-per-track supported by PCem is 16 and 63 respectively, so for large hard disks, you have to use the cylinders to get the final size. This is an issue I've run into with VHD support, as it only supports up to 65535 cylinders, so for large hard disks, you are supposed to...

Hi folks, PCem noob here, I more or less got the hand of the general workings and how to put together a machine. The only thing I am confused about (for now), is regarding the creation of HDD images. I have found several tutorials and general info sites, with tables with the CHS parameters for diffe...

This patch adds two new models to PCem, my first two PCs from 1991 and 1995! The first is the Hyundai Super-286TR, based on the Chips & Technologies SCAT chipset: -Award 286 Bios, for Chips and Technologies Single-Chip AT (SCAT) chipset -AMD 286 12 MHz -1MB RAM -VGA OAK OTI-037C 256KB -PC Speak...
